PRELIMINARIES
1. Place the espresso coffee maker on a dry, stable work surface.
2. Make sure that the drip tray and the grate are correctly positioned.
3. Fill the espresso coffee maker with water using one of these 2 methods:
a) Simply lift the water tank lid on top of the espresso coffee maker (1) and use a jug to fill the tank with fresh tap
water or filtered water (2).
b)Alternatively, remove the water tank and fill with water. Lift the lid and, using it as a handle, simply slide the water
tank outwards (3). Fill with water (4). Reinstall the tank firmly in its position and close the lid (5).
4. Plug the power cord in a 230-240V AC mains socket. Press the power switch to turn on the espresso coffee maker
(6). The lamp on the power button will light in a red colour and the "HEATING" lamp will light in an amber colour to
indicate that the espresso coffee maker is on and is heating.
When the "HEATING" lamp turns off, it means that the espresso coffee maker is hot and ready for use (7).
Note: Before turning on the espresso coffee maker, make sure that the mode selector is in the off position.
5. Place the glasses and cups on the cup warming top plate (8).
Important: When using for the first time or if it has not been used for some time, the coffee maker must be rinsed as
follows:
6. Put one of the three filter baskets into the head of the portafilter (9). Put the portafilter into the slot in the coffee maker
(10) and turn the portafilter handle towards the right until it comes to a stop (11).
7. Place a container that is large enough to fit under both nozzles (12).
8. Turn the mode selector clockwise to the espresso setting (13) and allow the water to flow out until the water tank is
empty.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING A PERFECT ESPRESSO COFFEE
Before making the coffee, make sure that the espresso coffee maker is on so that it can heat.
Preheating the glasses
1. Preheat the glasses/cups by filling them with hot water, as this helps preserve the espresso crema. Put the filled
glasses and cups to one side.
Preheating the filter holder
2. Select the appropriate filter and place in the filter holder (14).
Advice: Use the one cup filter (single shot or normal) to serve a single cup of espresso coffee and a two cup filter to
serve a double espresso.
3. Hold the filter holder by the handle, insert under the water outlet and allow water to drain through. With the filter holder
under the water outlet, turn the mode selector to the espresso setting
off position to stop it (15).
4. Dry the filter holder.
Measuring and tamping
5. Using the supplied measuring scoop, place finely ground coffee in the filter holder (16).
6. Hold the filter holder with the filter inserted over the work surface. Take the coffee tamper, press firmly to level (17)
and turn 90 degrees. This seals the top surface of the coffee.
7. Remove any excess ground coffee on the filter rim (18).
Important: Take care to not overfill the filter with coffee.
Tip: The amount of coffee and the tamp pressure must be the same each time you make coffee. The only thing that can
vary is the fineness of the ground coffee and this will depend on the coffee grain. For example, for a slower brewing
time, use a finer grind and a coarser grind for a faster brewing time.
Tip: Make sure that the coffee tamp is dry. If it is damp, the ground coffee will stick to it.
